Black smoke emerged from the aircraft, and the red-haired man slammed on the accelerator and flew quickly into an abandoned mine. He remotely opened the gate of the underground base, and rushed in before the aircraft was completely damaged.

As soon as they landed, all the dials in the aircraft instantly went out and could not function. The red-haired man put his elbows on the console and pressed his forehead in silence for a long time, and finally squeezed out a few words after the last loud noise came from behind him.

"Get out of here."

"..."

The white-haired angel who melted the metal wall of the aircraft with a single blow was silent for a moment, finally extinguished the light on his fingertips, pushed the only unharmed water tank to get off the aircraft, and whispered "sorry" before leaving.

Huo Wuling tilted his head, chuckled, and finally took away the evil spirits flying around, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and jumped down, leaving only the red-haired man sitting alone, after a while Looking back stiffly, saw the almost completely destroyed aircraft, and almost passed out.

Ji Ning sat in the water tank and came out of the aircraft to see this underground base that has been carefully remodeled. This mountain was originally a mine for mining energy stones. After mining, the minerals were abandoned. It is also the main activity place for him and Alke in the early stage.

The second male doesn't pay attention to the appearance, which makes the decoration here look outdated. However, after reading the original book, Ning knows that the renovation here is very sophisticated and sturdy, with a high safety factor. At the same time, it is equipped with various latest weapons and machinery. Big bucks out.

And that aircraft, whose quality is also among the top, was destroyed by Arke and Huo Wuling...

Looking at the red-haired man who stumbled down, Ji Ning spat out a bunch of bubbles in the water tank, and silently said sorry in her heart.

As soon as the red-haired man walked down, he squatted on the ground with his head on his back. He was obviously hit hard. He couldn't blame him. He thought that he would make a lot of money by investing so much capital in this business. Not only did the spoils burn, but even the aircraft was destroyed...

"Fergie."

Alke walked in front of him, the red-haired man looked up at him with a haggard expression, and heard the other person say.

"I want to take care of him."

Alke pointed to the mermaid in the tank and said.

The red-haired man almost spat out blood when he heard it, although he had a very bad premonition when Arke proposed to Huo Wuling to buy a mermaid, but now that he heard Arke himself say that he wanted to raise a mermaid, it took him a while. He still couldn't bear the blow.

"are you crazy?"

He exclaimed incredulously: "Do you know how much it costs to raise a merman?"

As an experienced mercenary, in fact, the red-haired man is not short of money, and can even be called a rich man. A lot of the money he earns has been invested in the stocks of genetic modification companies. Rao is so, but in front of a black hole that swallows money like a mermaid, it is not enough to see.

If nothing else, the mermaid's exacting demands on water quality are enough to hollow out his family.

Breeding mermaids requires replacing a large amount of purified water every day, and in the end times when resources are scarce, water of this quality is extremely expensive, almost equal to the value of energy stones.

And in fact, since he found Alke, if he hadn't withdrawn some of his stocks, the red-haired man would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Ark suffered fatal injuries at the beginning. Even if he could slowly repair himself, he needed many rare drugs as an aid, which were bought for him by the red-haired man with his back molars.

But Ark is a powerful android. Since he has him as a partner, the tasks the red-haired man has received have become more and more advanced. He can use these expenses as an early investment, but what return can he get from raising a merman? In reality, there is no such thing as immortality by eating merman meat.

The red-haired man's face was unpredictable, and he was thinking about how to reject this proposal when Alke spoke again.

"I want to keep him, and if it doesn't work, I'll take him away." The white-haired angel bowed to his companion, then turned and walked towards the merman, "Thank you, Fergie, for causing you trouble this time. , I will slowly pay you back the money I owe you."

"No, I haven't said anything yet. You can raise mermaids, and I won't stop you."

The red-haired man panicked when he heard it, and hurriedly stopped him. Shit, how could he let Alke leave, to know that this guy will definitely make him hundreds of times more money in the future, where can he find a second guy who can fight and cheat like this.

Alke stopped and looked back at him: "You agree?"

"Of course, I'm not a stingy person."

The man's heart was dripping blood, but he could only force his smile and said, "It's not too late, before the black market closes, you go to buy clean water for the fish, and you will have to change the water for him in a few hours. ."

"it is good."

Alke nodded, went to the bedroom to change into clean clothes, and quickly left the base.

Seeing him go out, the red-haired man let out a long sigh, carried his tools listlessly, and went to the nearly scrapped aircraft to see if there were any parts that could be removed, and said to Ji Ning at the same time.

"Little Mermaid, you are welcome to join us."

"I listened to you discussing it for so long," Huo Wuling raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you asked my opinion? I allow you to raise Ningning?"

why ask you? You are not the master of the mermaid.

The red-haired man secretly slandered, but he didn't dare to say anything on his face. He laughed dryly and said, "You can discuss this issue with Alke after he returns." After speaking, he quickly added, "Discuss it on the ground. , don't say it here."

"Actually, you can tell Alke that he doesn't have to worry about me."

Ji Ning ignored Huo Wuling's cold eyes and said to the man, "I won't stay here for a long time, and I don't have to prepare anything for me."

"What do you mean?" The man raised his head in surprise.

"It can be understood that my genes are unstable." Ji Ning thought for a while and replied, "I'm not a pure-blooded mermaid. Most of the time, I'm actually a human. When I recover as a human, it's time to leave."

"You're not a purebred mermaid?"

The red-haired man stood up suddenly, his expression distorted in an instant-then what did he pay such a huge price for in the end?

He stared at the beautiful and gentle mermaid in the tank, eager to sell him now, before he returned to human form.

It's just that he also knows that Alke will never agree, and even if the merman returns to human form, Alke will not let him leave. In that case, this is a good thing. It is easier to raise a human than to raise a mermaid. too much.

Thinking of this, the red-haired man's mood suddenly calmed down, he smiled, and said to Ji Ning quite friendly, "Actually, you don't have to leave, Ark and I welcome you, as long as you are willing, this is your forever home. "

Ji Ning smiled and did not continue to talk about this issue. The red-haired man dismantled the aircraft for a while, and suddenly seemed to have remembered something. He stopped the movement in his hand and spoke with curiosity.

"I don't know if it's a bit presumptuous to ask this question. If it's not convenient to answer, you don't need to pay attention to me." He said, "You should have known Alke before, what is your relationship with him, and what is he? ?"

"I was under his care."

Ji Ning replied in a general way, not revealing Ark's "Ark Angel" identity, revealing it too early would only bring them danger.

"The only people who can afford a mermaid are the top dignitaries in various countries. Ark is still so powerful, then he..." The red-haired man touched his chin with a dirty hand, suddenly laughed and said, "He shouldn't Could it be the 'Ark Angel'?"

Ji Ning didn't answer, and the man didn't take it seriously. He was just joking. He didn't really think that Ark was an "Ark Angel", like the most terrifying and rarest killing machine in national wars. Why? Likely to appear on such a desolate planet.

As for Alke's name and eye-catching wings, the man didn't take it seriously.

Since the "Ark Angel" was born and became a trend in the interstellar space, many young people will install wings on themselves when carrying out genetic modification, whether it is suitable or not, and now the streets are full of "Ark" and wings. Man, besides being too handsome, Arke's appearance is not unusual at all, and there are many guys who are even weirder than him.

But the man did not deny that Ark's life experience was very mysterious, which made people wonder. He was just about to ask Ji Ning a few more questions, but Ark had already returned with a water tanker and bought a lot of fresh ingredients.

Seeing those ingredients, the red-haired man once again showed a painful expression. He and Alke usually don't eat so extravagantly. At a glance, they knew that Alke specially prepared it for the mermaid.

"I don't know what you like to eat... so I bought these."

The white-haired angel walked to the water tank and said seriously to Ji Ning, "What do you want to eat, tell me, and I will prepare it for you."

"He doesn't like to eat those things."

Before Ji Ning could speak, Huo Wuling, who was leaning on the side, said lightly, "Don't waste your time."

"I can prepare." Alke emphasized again.

"He likes braised pork ribs, can you do it?" Huo Wuling asked.

"Braised pork ribs?" The red-haired man looked blank, "What is this?"

"Don't mind him."

Seeing Alke frowning slightly, he seemed a little distressed. Ji Ning waved his hand and said, "I'm not picky eaters, just eat the same food as you."

Huo Wuling glanced at Ji Ning: "You always say things that make me sad."

Ji Ning also looked at him: "I don't seem to have an obligation to make you happy."

"You're too ruthless." Huo Wuling suddenly got into the water tank and tried to kiss him again.

At the sight of the familiar light on Alke's fingertips, the red-haired man's heart suddenly hung up, he desperately grabbed his companion's arm, and pulled him to the kitchen: "Okay, okay, let's prepare dinner quickly, you Don't want your little mermaid to be hungry, do you?"

Alke's expression was still serious, staring at Huo Wuling: "I will find out what 'braised pork ribs' is."

"You study slowly, don't report to me specially."

The black-haired man kissed Ji Ning's cheek, looked at him with a smile, and spat out two words.

"nanny."

"..."

"Alke, calm down——!!"

...

After a scrumptious dinner, it was finally time to go to bed. The red-haired man was exhausted. He had never experienced such a tiring day in his nearly 30 years of life.

"I beg you, you two."

The red-haired man put his hands together and prayed to Huo Wuling and Ark in a low voice: "Please, please don't fight, even if you really want to fight, please go to the ground to fight, if this place is destroyed, I will only fight. to die."

"Sorry, Fergie," Alke said. "I won't do it again."

Huo Wuling curled the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "But my temper is not very good, so why don't you kneel down and beg me, maybe I can agree to you reluctantly."

"It's enough for you." Ji Ning tapped on the glass.

Huo Wuling raised his eyebrows, and finally said nothing.

The red-haired man looked rather worried. He walked back from the hall step by step and returned to his bedroom, but he opened the door several times and looked outside before finally closing the door completely.

Alke also returned to the bedroom, but instead of sleeping there, he took out his quilt and laid it flat next to the water tank, as if he planned to sleep here.

"It's better not to stay here, right?" Huo Wuling said with a smile, "I don't sleep well, and I'll kill someone if I'm not careful. If I find you dead tomorrow morning, Ningning will definitely blame me."

"Then it's better if you sleep somewhere else." Ji Ning said, "I'm afraid you'll kill me if you're not careful."

"How come." Huo Wuling said, "I will only accidentally kill the people I hate."

Alke was silent, as if he had made up his mind, no matter what Huo Wuling said, he would ignore what Huo Wuling said. He just hugged the soft quilt and buried half of his face in it. He looked extraordinarily well-behaved. With Ji Ning.

His complexion is very white, his hair is as white as fresh snow, his facial features are handsome and beautiful, and his eyes are like a bright silver moon, but it is purer and clearer, full of divine aura, which perfectly fits all human imaginations of angels.

The white-haired angel looked at the mermaid in the water, silent for a moment, and said softly.

"I don't have any previous memories, but from the first time I saw you, I liked you very much."

"Fergie told me, you said I took care of you before, what was our relationship like then?"

Ji Ning smiled and replied, "It's almost the same as now, but you were more cramped when you saw me back then."

...

As a killing machine that only understands war, when he first faced the mermaid, Ark was very at a loss.

He had never seen such a delicate and beautiful creature. Even when the mermaid hooked his neck and gave him a hug, he did not dare to hug him back, for fear that if he touched it lightly, the mermaid would be broken like glass. will be destroyed by him.

"Fairy Wood"

After the mermaid let him go, Alke took a step back. He really didn't know how to respond to the mermaid. Do you want to say thank you to him?

"You don't have to be so restrained."

The mermaid in the water looked up at him, with a gentle smile on her beautiful face, light-colored pupils like beautiful gems, water droplets falling down her snow-white skin, light blue fish tails swaying gently, like blooming flowers, Exuding an air of temptation, he stretched out his hands to the inhuman angel.

"Please try to hug me like I did to you just now."

"...Sorry." Alke lowered his eyes and said, "I can't do this, I might hurt you."

"It's okay." The mermaid said with a smile, "I'm not as fragile as I look on the surface, not to mention it doesn't matter if you hurt me, you always need to try it for the first time, don't you?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, under the slightly surprised gaze of the mermaid, Alke walked into the pool, his white wings submerged in the water, and his snow-white uniform was also wetted. into his arms.

"Does this hurt?" he asked.

"Of course not." The mermaid closed his eyes, leaned against his arms, and said with a smile, "Your hug is very warm, I like it very much."

After that, Alke began to carefully raise his own mermaid. He specifically asked the staff of the institute a lot of questions about mermaids, and he did everything by himself, whether it was feeding or changing the water, without the help of others.

"You are too nervous about me, honorable 'Ark Angel'."

Looking at the frowning angel checking the water temperature, the mermaid was lying on the edge of the pool, shaking her tail, and said, "It's only half a degree from the optimal temperature, I'll be fine, within ten degrees, come to me It's all about the right water temperature."

"I don't want you to get sick." Alke insisted. Standing in the water, he turned the button on the pool wall to adjust the water temperature to the optimal temperature, and said seriously.

"Well, since you insist, although I won't get sick because of this deviation."

Seeing that he finally adjusted the water temperature, the mermaid waiting on the shore smiled, propped up his upper body, and stretched out his hands at him: "Please carry me down."

Alke grabbed the mermaid's back and gently held him into the pool. After getting along with him for a while, he already knew how to hug the mermaid, and he was not at a loss as he was at first.

"I smell..."

The mermaid rested on his shoulder and murmured softly: "You have a very light breath on your body, the smell of gunpowder and blood, did you just come back from the battlefield?"

"Sorry." Alke pursed his lips. "I know you don't like the smell, but I thought I cleaned it up. I'll clean it up again."

He was about to get up and go ashore, but the mermaid stopped him and said, "It's okay, I don't care about this, I just want to ask, how do you feel about killing?"

Alke thought for a few seconds and answered truthfully: "I don't feel it, I'm just completing the task given to me by the council."

"It seems that you have no special thoughts about those who died." The mermaid said, "I want to know, if I die, will your heart hurt?"

"You're not going to die." Alke squeezed his wrist lightly.

"Just a hypothesis. Will your heart hurt?"

"I'll be very sad." Alke's icy expression showed a trace of turbulence, similar to a puzzled emotion, "but I'm sorry, I don't understand the usage of 'heartache' very well, I thought 'heartache' would only appear in the body in an unhealthy situation.”

"Literally, it means that the heart hurts, it feels like it's being torn apart."

The mermaid took Alke's hand and gently pressed it on his chest.

Through a thin layer of flesh, Alke could clearly feel the heart beating at a very fast speed in his chest cavity.

"I'm very happy because of your presence. This kind of emotion makes my heart rate go up."

The mermaid looked at Alke, the beautiful light-colored pupils seemed to be filled with water, and they were full of Alke's figure.

"Similarly, if something happened to you, I would be very sad, even in intense pain, unable to breathe, and heart aches. It's 'heartache'."

"Then I don't want you to feel pain for me," Alke said. "I don't want you to suffer."

"You are very considerate and gentle, honorable 'Ark Angel'."

The mermaid laughed abruptly, hugged the white-haired angel, and her voice was as soft as sweet love words in a dream, but it was also like a magic curse, which left an indelible mark on his heart.

"But I'm a selfish person, and I hope your heart aches for me."

"That's proof of your love for me."

"If one day your heart will hurt for me, even if you are about to die, I will be very happy."

...

Ji Ning and Ark looked at each other for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "I'll sing you a song, it was your favorite song before, as a gift for you to take care of me."

The white-haired angel blinked, nodded quickly, and straightened his upper body, indicating that he would pay attention to listening.

"Just lie down." Ji Ning said, "This is a mermaid's sleep song."

So Ark put away his wings again and obediently lay on his side under the quilt. Ji Ning opened his lips slightly and sang an ethereal tune in a low voice.

Although this sleeping song has lyrics, it belongs to the language unique to mermaids. It is very unfamiliar to angels, more like a song from a foreign land, but it has a strange power to soothe the unease in his heart. It is gentle and soothing. One thinks of all the most beautiful and dreamy things.

After a while, the bedroom door opened a gap, the red-haired man was leaning against the door, his back leaned against the wall, he folded his arms and closed his eyes quietly listening and enjoying, after a while, he suddenly sighed and whispered with a smile.

"Raising mermaids...seems really good."

Amid the comfort of the singing, Alke fell into a peaceful sleep unconsciously, his body was wrapped with wide and white wings, faintly showing a peaceful sleeping face, as if he was dreaming a beautiful dream.

The red-haired man was also sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall to fall asleep. Seeing this, Ji Ning stopped singing and glanced around, only to find that Huo Wuling had disappeared without a trace.

What about others?

Ji Ning murmured something in his heart, but he didn't wait for Huo Wuling to appear. It was already late at night, and he was getting tired, so he stopped looking for Huo Wuling and fell asleep himself.

In the dream, he entered the grocery store again.

It was raining on the dark street, only the grocery store was emitting a gentle warm light. Ji Ning was standing in front of the counter, the storage racks around were full of groceries, and a melodious female voice came from the gramophone in the corner, Huo Wuling Behind the counter, stirring the hot coffee in the cup, he looked up at Ji Ning with a smile.

...why are you here again?

Ji Ning looked around the grocery store. This was the third time he had come here. If the first two were coincidences, this time it couldn't be coincidence.

Could it be that this has some important meaning to Huo Wuling?

Ji Ning wasn't very clear about this, because Huo Wuling's past was never explained in the Infinite Flow novel "The Killing of God", and after spending three years with him, Huo Wuling never mentioned his past. , his origin is a mystery to Ji Ning.

"You are so kind to him."

Huo Wuling took a sip from the coffee cup, smiled and looked at Ji Ning, who was in a human state in a dream, "Why don't you come and sing me a song? I didn't know you were so good at singing."

"That's just my bonus when I'm in the form of a mermaid. My real singing level is actually pretty average."

Ji Ning decisively rejected Huo Wuling's proposal, sat on the sofa beside him, and asked him, "Did you pull me in here?"

"That's right."

Huo Wuling put down the coffee cup, walked out from behind the counter, sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Ji Ning, put one hand on the back of the sofa, leaned slightly and approached Ji Ning, his dark pupils stared at him for a moment, and suddenly his lips twitched. Horn, said with a chuckle.

"It's just the two of us here now."

He moved close to Ji Ning's lips and placed a kiss on his lips.

"What do you say I should do to you?"

The author has something to say: thanks to Xiaoyu for the rocket launcher, the empty mine x3 for the fate, the mine x2 for the dawn, and the scattered tears, coconut pineapple, light vegetable cut cloud, sand sculpture master, Mao Yizhenzhen Like lions, boiling water and coffee, and the mines of Passerby No. 1! =3=
